Inhibition of constitutive and cxc-chemokine-induced NF-kappaB activity potentiates ansamycin-based HSP90-inhibitor cytotoxicity in castrate-resistant prostate cancer cells.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We determined how CXC-chemokine signalling and necrosis factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity affected heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor (geldanamycin (GA) and 17-allylamino-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)) cytotoxicity in ... Read more...

Androgenic suppression of spreading depression in familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 mutant mice.

29 Sep 2009 Familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1), a severe migraine with aura variant, is caused by mutations in the CACNA1A gene. Mutant mice carrying the FHM1 R192Q mutation exhibit increased propensity for cortical spreading depression (CSD), a ... Read more...

Open-label, clinical phase I studies of tasquinimod in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Tasquinimod is a quinoline-3-carboxamide derivative with anti-angiogenic activity. Two open-label phase I clinical trials in patients were conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tasquinimod, with additional pharmacokinetic ... Read more...
